The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Years ago, I was in Tower and they played one of those Curtis Fuller Savoy CDs which had a fantastic HONKING tenor solo from Benny Golson. I couldn't afford it just then, and then I forgot which Fuller album it was. Was it "Bluesette"? Could be............but it sounds to me like you might actually be talking about Yusef Lateef on 'Judyful' from the Fuller Sextet "Images" Savoy one? Coincidentally, I saw the Curtis Fuller Quintet last weekend w/Ronnie Matthews and Lou Hayes. It was Fuller's B'day and Freddy Cole stopped by to sing a couple of numbers, which was a real treat! After the show Hayes had a cd or two rattling around in his bag so I bought 'Dreamin of Cannonball' off him (he was a bit miffed that he had to pack up his own kit). So that then, was my last CD purchase. Thanks very much Son OAW. I'll keep that in mind. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAL Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Today, visited djangos.com and ordered some OOP Steve Lacy and Helen Humes discs. Then darted off to Timeless and Storyville websites to order a couple of vintage jazz discs from each, then back to tower.com for some more OOP items including a Jelly Roll Morton RCA set. Trying to quell my pre-New Year jitters, whatever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yesterday it was (Bit of an unfortunate title that, nowadays...) Today it's been I haven't liked much Ullmer after his albums with Big John Patton. I don't particularly llike Bill Laswell either. But this is a seriously funky and fabulous album!!! First time I've heard Amina Claudia Myers. Very good I think, unless it's Bernie Worrell playing the organ MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 What a cool Slim Harpo cover! You can almost "hear" it! I last bought the new Blue Note Connoisseur additions to yourmusic.com and all shipped but the Quebec which was backordered (gee, I'll just have to live with the Mosaic version til it ships!)

brownie Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Today was the first day of the Winter Sales. Went to the Virgin Megastore and one of the FNAC store for quick visits. Among the items I picked at Virgin (prices started higher than at previous sales but were still very reasonables) were Steve Lacy with Charles Tyler on Silkheart, some Sun Ras, a couple of Vandermark 5, then at FNAC (they still maintain the €3 mark) Ran Blake 'Unmarked Van' (Soul Note), Max Bennett on Japanese Bethlehem, Mary Lou Williams' 'Zodiac Suite'.

A small but nice haul. I hope they'll still have a few things left when I get to Paris on Saturday. Incidentally, brownie, I'm only familiar with the FNACs around Champs Elysees, Bastille, and St. Lazare. Are there any others worth visiting, you think? Also, and I know this is silly, I've never been to the Virgin at Louvre, how does its coverage compare to the Champs-Elysees branch. And finally, since you've been to the stores, were there also a fair bit of classical discs on sale? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gokhan, from what I have seen the two best jazz sections at FNAC stores are the one on the Rue de Rennes (FNAC Montparnasse) and the one on the Avenue des Ternes (FNAC Ternes). Both have a wide selection and competent and friendly staff which is not usually the case at other FNACS! Did my sales shopping today at FNAC Montparnasse. Did not check the classical section which is in a different part of the store. There was a crowd today! But at the Virgin Megastore on the Champs-Elysees, the classics sales items were right next to the jazz ones. Got a Clara Haskill recital I had been looking for there! As for the Virgin Louvre, the jazz section is OK but nothing exceptional but the classics section is really good! They probably have sales there. I'm avoiding a visit there right now. Spent enough for the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Never heard Drake, Mateen or Jamal before. So far, I've heard the first three and am on the fourth. No disappointments so far. Not expecting any. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinlps Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 It was one of those rare days today when some want list titles finally showed up at reasonable prices. Been searching for these three for a long time but haven't been willing to pay the high import or Amazon "collector" prices. Ended up finding them sealed today. Both Japanese CD Reissues: Verve Elite (The Swinger / Mr. Swing twofer) Not familiar with these: The Three Sounds - Babe's Blues The Three Sounds - Black Orchid Randy Weston - Monterey '66 And took some fliers on cheap Fresh Sounds material: Bill Perkins - Perk Plays Pres George Arvanitas - The Ballad Artistry of David Murray The Birdlanders featuring J.J. Johnson & Al Cohn All for under a C-note...woohoo. Of course, this just means that the bins will be completely dry in Atlanta next week.
